Summary

Abstract: The uses and applications of electronic spreadsheet programs are introduced in this manual designed primarily for librarians in public and academic libraries. Background information is presented on, 1) the functions and design of spreadsheet programs, 2) planning and organizing a spreadsheet, 3) hardware requirements, and 4) popular "first-generation" and "second-generation" spreadsheet programs. Thirty spreadsheet models and accompanying instructions for entering them on a microcomputer are presented. Models deal with common aspects of library service, including budgets, expenditures and income, library activity reports, and collection evaluation.
A section on tools used to conduct output measures examines specific problems associated with organizing, analyzing, and reporting data of this type. A series of "warm-up" exercises is included to assist beginners and occasional spreadsheet users. A Command Comparison Guide allows users to translate various commands and functions used in popular spreadsheets into terminology used in the manual.
